Hi! I’m Emily Lozano! I’m a lifelong artist and storyteller. I recently graduated from the College for Creative Studies (CCS) in Detroit, Michigan where I earned High Honors and received my BFA in Animation with a minor in Illustration.
As a visual development artist, my goal is always to make meaningful work. I aim to touch people through the characters and worlds I bring to life, whether through laughter, tears, or inspiration. I’m a designer who loves bold expressive shapes and colors yet I’m highly adept at working in various styles on a variety of projects.
Aside from drawing, I’m a fan of all creative things. I love reading, writing, and dancing while singing along to music too loudly in my car! I also love making music and was highly involved in band as a clarinetist for nearly a decade.
